Whether you are checking tire pressure, reading a weather forecast, monitoring blood pressure, or working with hydraulic systems, this free converter gives you an instant accurate result.

How to convert pressure units

The pascal (Pa) is the SI base unit of pressure, defined as one newton per square meter. In everyday use the pascal is very small, so kilopascals (kPa) and bar are more common in engineering and science.

PSI (pounds per square inch) is the standard unit for tire pressure and hydraulic pressure in the United States. Standard atmospheric pressure equals 14.696 PSI = 1.01325 bar = 101,325 Pa = 760 mmHg.

mmHg (millimeters of mercury) is used for blood pressure readings and was the historical standard for barometric pressure. A normal blood pressure reading of 120/80 means 120 mmHg systolic and 80 mmHg diastolic.

Frequently asked questions

How many PSI in a bar?
1 bar = 14.5038 PSI. Bar is commonly used in Europe for tire pressure and industrial applications, while PSI is the standard in the United States.
What is standard atmospheric pressure?
Standard atmospheric pressure = 1 atm = 101,325 Pa = 101.325 kPa = 14.696 PSI = 1.01325 bar = 760 mmHg. This is the average air pressure at sea level.
What is blood pressure measured in?
Blood pressure is measured in mmHg (millimeters of mercury). A reading of 120/80 mmHg is considered normal. 120 is the systolic pressure (when heart pumps) and 80 is the diastolic pressure (when heart rests).
What PSI should my car tires be?
Most passenger car tires should be inflated to 32–35 PSI (2.2–2.4 bar). The recommended pressure for your specific vehicle is listed on a sticker inside the driver’s door jamb or in the owner’s manual — not on the tire itself.
How do I convert kPa to PSI?
Multiply kPa by 0.14504 to get PSI. For example, 200 kPa × 0.14504 = 29.008 PSI. Going the other way, multiply PSI by 6.89476 to get kPa.
